Right now, I am selecting multiple video using ELCImagePickerController But after selection it give ALAssetTypeVideo not public.movie" type url , So I am unable to play this with AVPlayer.
Please help me.
I am trying with Following code:
- (void)elcImagePickerController:(ELCImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSArray *)info
{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
for (UIView *v in [_scrollView subviews]) {
[v removeFromSuperview];
}
CGRect workingFrame = _scrollView.frame;
workingFrame.origin.x = 0;
NSMutableArray *images = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:[info count]];
for (NSDictionary *dict in info) {
NSURL *urlvideo = [dict objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL];
NSLog(#"Video URl is::::--%#",urlvideo);
UIImage *image = [dict objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
[images addObject:image];
UIImageView *imageview = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
[imageview setContentMode:UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit];
imageview.frame = workingFrame;
[_scrollView addSubview:imageview];
workingFrame.origin.x = workingFrame.origin.x + workingFrame.size.width;
}
self.chosenImages = images;
[_scrollView setPagingEnabled:YES];
[_scrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(workingFrame.origin.x, workingFrame.size.height)];
}

I've solved my problem by saving video firstly in temp file and then use url of video which is stored in temp file,Now Video is playing properly
+(NSString *) videoAssetURLToTempFile:(NSURL*)url
{
NSString * surl = [url absoluteString];
NSString * ext = [surl substringFromIndex:[surl rangeOfString:#"ext="].location + 4];
NSTimeInterval ti = [[NSDate date]timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate];
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f",ti];
NSArray *Array = [str componentsSeparatedByString:#"."];
NSString *fileString =[[NSString alloc]initWithString:[Array objectAtIndex:0]];
NSLog(#"FileName string is ::::--%#",fileString);
NSString * filename = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"%#.%#",fileString,ext];
NSLog(#"FileName is ::::--%#",filename);
NSString * tmpfile = [NSTemporaryDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:filename];
ALAssetsLibraryAssetForURLResultBlock resultblock = ^(ALAsset *myasset)
{
ALAssetRepresentation * rep = [myasset defaultRepresentation];
NSUInteger size = [rep size];
const int bufferSize = 8192;
//NSLog(#"Writing to %#",tmpfile);
FILE* f = fopen([tmpfile cStringUsingEncoding:1], "wb+");
if (f == NULL) {
NSLog(#"Can not create tmp file.");
return;
}
Byte * buffer = (Byte*)malloc(bufferSize);
int read = 0, offset = 0, written = 0;
NSError* err;
if (size != 0) {
do {
read = [rep getBytes:buffer
fromOffset:offset
length:bufferSize
error:&err];
written = fwrite(buffer, sizeof(char), read, f);
offset += read;
} while (read != 0);
}
fclose(f);
};
ALAssetsLibraryAccessFailureBlock failureblock = ^(NSError *myerror)
{
NSLog(#"Can not get asset - %#",[myerror localizedDescription]);
};
if(url)
{
ALAssetsLibrary* assetslibrary = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
[assetslibrary assetForURL:url
resultBlock:resultblock
failureBlock:failureblock];
}
return tmpfile;
}
